>Het zwaar getraumatiseerde slachtoffer vond pas in 2018 de moed om een klacht in te dienen tegen haar voormalige hoogleraar. Voordien werd ze meermaals opgenomen in psychiatrische instellingen en probeerde ook meerdere keren zelfmoord te plegen.
In any normal company if one the employees rapes one of the clients, the employee wouldn’t keep their position very long.
In academia, the professor is untouchable.
This is sadly only the tip of a very large iceberg.
Dat is precies ook niet de eerste keer als ik het me goed herinner he, KULertjes. Oudste universiteit van het land allemaal goed en wel, maar vooral blijven steken blijkbaar.
The university’s rector and administration are a spineless joke. They run this thing like a soulless/shady corporation, not like a space of (supposedly world class) _higher_ education.
These are the same people who awarded a degree to the hazers of Sanda Dia. What can you expect. Even in the US those students would be long gone. So, what can you expect when a professor is concerned.
Beetje veel om te lezen kan iemand kort samenvatten?
Classic KUL
**K**UL, we should’ve seen it coming.
Anyway, here’s hoping (probably in vain) the hierarchy faces charges as well for that.
Vraagje. Betekent “op non-actief zetten” dat de persoon nog altijd werkzaam is? Dus, nog loon krijgt?
Vreselijk dit bericht.
Public institution and state monopoly looks after their own. Nothing incomprehensible there. If you want to change something about this, vote to privatize higher education so you have the power to take your money elsewhere. Or if you value freebies more than creating incentives to proper conduct, then that’s your right as well. But in that case please don’t congratulate yourself on your moral virtue. Free higher education mostly goes to the privileged class anyways.
Academic elite who think themselves untouchable.
In my experience, any sizeable company/organisation in either academia or industry will do this: better to cover it up and protect the hierarchy then do the right thing. There’s usually also more than one case.
Incomprehencible? It’s the KU Leuven. What more explanation do you need?
